The German auto magazine AutoBild carries out independent tyre tests every year. The latest issue saw all-season tyres being put through their paces in both summer and winter conditions. And the extensive texts produced a clear winner: The Vredestein Quatrac 3.

Vredestein Quatrac 3: Balanced and versatile

AutoBild selected ten all-season tyres from different brands in size 205/55 R16 and subjected them to a wide range of tests. The Vredestein Quatrac 3 came out top with the final mark “exemplary”. In addition to fine results on dry road surfaces, the tyre also had outstanding scores on wet and snowy surfaces. “The Quatrac 3 is a balanced and versatile tyre with accurate steering and superb handling – it ensures safety and security for drivers in case of aquaplaning, and has a short braking distance on both wet and snowy surfaces,” AutoBild reported.

The Vredestein Quatrac 3 is an excellent tyre for countries with moderate winter conditions. Its reliable and optimised performance at all times of the year make it the quintessential four-season tyre for areas with flat to rolling landscapes and a temperate climate,. Specialised versions include the Quatrac 3 SUV for sports utility vehicles and the Quatrac Lite for electric cars, which is more fuel efficient thanks to a lower rolling resistance.

The Vredestein Quatrac 3 sports the Three Peak Snowflake symbol, which is assigned only to tyres which successfully complete a stringent winter test on snowy surfaces. This means that the Quatrac 3 is accepted in all countries where winter tyres are compulsory and which recognise the Three Peak Snowflake symbol.

A perfect tyre for a temperate climate

The Vredestein Quatrac 3 is the optimal alternative for drivers who wish to use a single type of tyre for both the summer and the winter season, instead of choosing separate models. It brings a definitive end to the days of the biannual tyre change.
